This is pretty edge case for who it would be useful for in my opinion?

I have a small droplet on digital ocean I use to host a few small personal projects. $5/month is pretty reasonable and if I don't want to sign up for AWS, this is a fairly beneficial thing to know about.

For people who want to use serverless functionality for cost benefit, it's probably not as helpful.

Serious question, what is the benefit to "serverless functionality" if not financial? The only benefit I'm aware of in micro-/milli-second level billing, and the infrastructure being obfuscated away from you.

Personally, it would be the benefit of not running 10+ express apps on a small server 24/7. I use a small server for personal projects and the traffic they get is minimal, but I also run a few small utilities off the same low-spec server 24/7. This is about the only benefit I see personally for me
